Design a book cover using Canva + Silhouette Studio

[@julietteb8938]

i literally come back to this video every single time i use my Silhouette for book covers. you're a lifesaver, thank you!

Not sure if you've found out by now or not, but you can bring them all into the same page by choosing merge instead of open when you want to choose the second and third pages :) To change from inches to mm, you go to Edit, then Preferences and then choose mm on the drop down for Unit of Measurement.

Thank you!!! I can find a ton of videos and shorts on making the cover but this is the first I’ve found on designing one. I appreciate the lesson!

[@costercrouse]

To open designs in the same tab go to File > Merge

[@abound_bindery]

Ahh thank you so much!!! I knew there must be a better way hahaha

[@michaelasue24]

I really love all of your videos with how detailed you are in them! Thank you for sharing!

[@GamerOtaku98]

Excuse me, could you make a video of your printer and how you place the paper and the brand?

[@candaceonsunshine]

Your videos as soooo helpful, thank you so much, i cannot wait to start bookbinding, you surely make it sound easy and fun☺

[@tws5745]

I am so happy to have found this video! I am debating on whether I should try to start bookbinding. I really want to, but I want to be sure what I'm getting into. Thank you for your easy-to-follow videos! Question: What machine do you use to make the cuts on the heat transfer vinyl? Cricut? Could you make a video that shows how you do that? Thank you in advance!!

[@shanondowdy3194]

I use Cricut, but the canva design bit was super helpful. Ty! Do you ever make your canva designs public that others can use as well? I've been on the lookout for a good HP design that I like, and the border creation you use is something I hadn't thought of myself

[@kroova404]

Great video! Loved the design, although aren’t the keys in book 1 not 2?

[@frankie2366]

Yep 😅

[@frankie2366]

Which silhouette cutter do you have? I’m looking to purchase one but I don’t understand the differences between each model. Thanks ❤

[@erica8794]

I tried this with the border for my book design but when I upload it to cricut it completely disappears. Any tips? Thanks!

[@savs96]

Can you send silhouette designs to cricut or save them and import them to cricuts? This software seems much more user friendly then my cricut but I am still new to cricut and getting used to it 😂

[@natesh999]

what do you use to print out your silhouette ? sorry for the noob question :)

[@abound_bindery]

Don’t worry at all! The machine itself is called a Silhouette and it’s a cutting machine that can cut (or draw) whatever you design onto a variety of materials. Cricut is another popular brand. I hope that helps 😍

[@lirasaltal3281]

@@abound_binderyhi thank for the answer (I was looking for that too) how much does it cost? And thank you for the videos they’re amazing

[@nostradoomus]

Very interesting! Is there a way to make fancy covers like this / HTV without a circut / silhouette machine? I'd love to try my hand at this but investing in one of those machines is a little out of my price range ATM

[@abound_bindery]

I totally understand, they’re expensive af. I’m going to be trying a few different options in my next videos so keep an eye out for that!

[@dianep.1406]

Hello ! Thanls for the video! I would like to use transfer paper because I don't have a cutting machine like yours, but last time I tried the paper that had no ink to transfer left stains on my book cover. Do you have any solution? 😊

[@aimeesanders3308]

I had the same experience :(

[@CharlotteEverywhere]

The winged keys are definitely in the Philosophers Stone?!

[@frankie2366]

I read Harry Potter when I was younger but I’m sure they were in the Philosophers stone! Before the chess scene as the trio make their way to the stone I believe..

[@Bucky_Winchester]

Yeah so? She said that she just wanted to make the series look coherent in the shelf, so the covers don't necessarily reflect the contents of the book.

[@bbebi6377]

Yes they were! When they were under the school searching for the philosopher’s stone :)

[@tannaramma1]

If you open using merge it should open into one!

[@TashiiTwissted]

canva alternative?

[@haloreadss]

I assume picsart but Canva is really the best

[@haleyh6343]

i use procreate to draw out my designs, it works great with cricut design studio in my experience:)
